Media Disaster - MY SD CARD FAILED!!!
Feb. 10th, 2014 05:31 pmI could not believe it when yesterday I watched in absolute horror as my lovely big 32GB Sandisk micro SD card in my smart phone failed.
For the last week the phone was media scanning the card a little more frequently than usual and I did a little research online as to whether I should be concerned but all I was able to discover was that it could be an application in the phone that was causing it to happen not a possible failure of the SD card itself
The card contained 11gb of data which included:
All the photographs I had taken using the phone of my nephew but hadn’t had time to back up yet, however fortunately the good ones were on Facebook.
All my Amazon MP3s which I am fortunate to be able to download again once I get a new SD card.
My e-books! All my Kindle ebooks and also the works by a few of my favourite LJ authors, I was able to retrieve from All Romance and Dreamspinner but I couldn’t download Going for Gold anthology. OH HORROR! It is one of my favourites.
But Knowing me I always have some access to the downloaded files and I found that on one of my flash drives. I am so glad I back up my files.
The Amazon Kindle app I have will allow me to download those books again as I bought through Amazon.
Videos, once again some fandom stuff and a couple of movies there but I know where to retrieve those.
And finally my favourite Fandom Fics from A03. I’m just glad I will be able to access them again.
I must say at first I panicked but having sat and thought exactly what I had lost I found I really hadn’t lost all that much it’s just the inconvenience of it all.
So a lesson to from the wise: always back up your files or keep at least a copy.
